Fun Days!!…4 days to go

I have felt really great all week!! Good energy, good mindset, good focus~ I love it!!

Anyhow, I weighed this morning– 129 still…oh well..still a couple more days left until March 1st–maybe something amazing will happen to get me to my goal, lol!! Despite the scale staying relatively steady, I know I am getting more fit, eating better, feeling better– so what does that scale know anyway?? I still plan to take my pictures this weekend– they will tell more of the true story.

Last night we skipped going to the gym and played softball out in the yard instead. It was really fun to hit the ball again, see my kids hit and be the pitcher 🙂 And guess what, I am SORE today! all sorts of forearm muscles and core muscle sorness!! AWESOME!! Then today’s leg workout was a bit shorter than I’d like, but the good thing is that we did do it!

#1 List 3- recent items in which someone or something was to BLAME for your failure. Then take responsibility for each by stating “I am Responsible for that ____________(the failure).”

1- blame kids for leaving the kitchen a mess…. “I am Responsible for that teaching my kids and instructing them to do their chores.”
2- blame others for tempting me with “junk food” and “candy”….”I am responsible for what goes into my own mouth, no one but ME!! I can say no thanks!!”
3- blaming lack of time for my lack of runs the past couple weeks “I am responsible for my own schedule, I have the time, I must take the time!”
#2 List 3 recent items in which you had a success. Then, revisit each of those successes and state “I am RESPONSIBLE for my success at _________”

1- I’ve been successful at organizing this 21 day contest…. “I am responsible for my success at being a leader in the 21 days kick the Habit contest”
2- I’ve been successful at crossing off many items on my to do list daily….”I am responsible for the hard work I put in daily and am proud to know I am accomplishing tasks daily that will make my life less stressful, more organized and more enjoyable.”

4 Days to Go! Responsibilty

Take Responsibility for your failures, your bad habits and your excuses! Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They don’t BLAME things or PEOPLE for the life they are living. YOU are in control of your body, your life and your legacy. Take the time and effort today to make it one without bad habits and full of good habits!!

Your task for today is to…

#1 List 3- recent items in which someone or something was to BLAME for your failure.
